BriFi's Profile

I fully agree with your sentiment - we are a society so dependent on and addicted to technology it's obscene and impersonal. I think your video fails to drive this point home because it classifies media very broadly. There is no legitimate or rational reasoning that compels turning off music in order to find peace and unity with your self and home. Humans have played and listened to music for over 50,000 years. The popularity of media technologies like iPhone Apps, Twitter, Netflix, web surfing, etc. formed in less than a decade. I think you should be more focused in your definition of a media fast. For centuries, people have found peace and a spiritual connection with the world around them through music, literature, and art. An indiscriminate fast from all forms of media would be unpleasant, isolating, and foster ignorance. A fast from overexposing oneself to the constant, rapid-fire and often irrelevant and unintelligible media technologies is on the other hand productive because it frees up time for discovering connections independently and encourages exploration of more enlightening media.
